Brad Johnson

so many Peacock questions

So the matchups are fine

4:46

But he's a fly ball pitcher and very homer prone

no big strikeout stuff, average walk rate

the total picture is a 5.00 ERA

4:47

That list of alternatives is just as scary though

Walker doesn't look right, Wisler is mediocre, Rubby is so volatile, Cotton is still an unknown, and Skaggs has been struggling

4:48

only Wisler and Rubby have good matchups

Shep

Danny Duffy in 2017?

Brad Johnson

4:48

I think we have to consider him a top 30 SP

crazy as that would have sounded entering the season

JD15

4:48

Do you like Bradley Zimmer as a prospect stash or is he too much swing and miss? Other guys I considered are Brinson, Gleyber Torres, Hedges.

Brad Johnson

4:48

From that list, I'd aim big with Zimmer

reminds me of Springer and Domingo

4:49

should fall somewhere on that spectrum

Sonny

Considering bumping Darvish for K Seager in my last keeper spot. All the top 3B spoken for and I like his breakout potential

Brad Johnson

4:49

Well I really don't foresee a Seager breakout after so much consistency for what? Six seasons?

Five

4:50

But I do think you can keep him over Darvish

smells like a coin flip right now, and I tend to favor hitters in those scenarios

Gavin

4:51

So Brad Johnson, who has been asked to leave leagues because of his "style of play", thinks I'm a dick too. Sweet.

Brad Johnson

4:52

I haven't really been asked to leave any real leagues. But you can't just go blocking every player on the wire because you have the time to do it. You can roster a couple because that comes at a cost to you

JD15

4:52

Who are a couple of bounceback guys for next year?
Also, any guys that outperformed this year that we should sell high on if we have them?

Brad Johnson

4:52

Good questions, but I'd need to do some research before I get into it

Ceej

4:53

He's understandably raw, due to limited experience, but how long does it take Moncada to become passable at 3B, with k's low enough to unlock the power/speed?

Brad Johnson

4:53

I'm going to guess late '17 to mid '18

Ceej

4:53

Pitching prospects are rough to bet on, but how good can Urias be over the next couple of years?

Brad Johnson

4:53

He could be a top 10-25 guy

he could be somewhat worse

Gavin

4:53

Re: Duffy/Quintana, just dodging matchups, but they're not that bad today. Quintana has been good vs. CLE and Duffman is at home. I could take a pass on today and use them vs each other on Sunday since it's a QS league.

Brad Johnson

4:54

I'd just use them.

RE: Next year's speedsters - how about Charlie Tilson for CWS? If he's #4 OF he could be another Dyson

Brad Johnson

4:54

I was interested to see Tilson play down the stretch. I do think he's a 4th OFer, and I don't see him as Dyson-fast

Sonny

4:55

I can keep Posey in the 2nd or Zunino in the 22nd. My preference is to find a buyer for Posey and roll the dice that it's not a huge advantage to have a top 5 player when players 6-30 are garbage

Brad Johnson

4:56

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying. I'd probably keep the premium C though. Zunino has turned back into himself lately

He should be a 22nd round pick in most leagues and formats

Pablo

4:56

I don't think Bregman will even be SS-eligible, will he?

Brad Johnson

4:56

He needs one more GS

4:57

and Yahoo may arbitrarily assign it to him anyway
